The useful result here is not simply that agents can collaborate; it’s that where collaboration happens matters. If delegating the planning stage alone matches the outcome of delegating every stage at half the cost, then adding agents indiscriminately is the wrong optimization. The system needs to spend its coordination budget where it changes the plan, not where it merely multiplies execution. The 47.5% of performance gains at 13.9% of the cost is especially compelling: a capable lead can decompose work, keep the shared context coherent, and hand bounded tasks to less expensive workers. That suggests a practical design principle for agent teams: invest in clear planning, interfaces, and review, then scale implementation selectively. More parallelism is valuable only when the task can be split cleanly and the coordination overhead stays below the benefit. I’d love to see the same comparison across messier, longer-running software tasks, where requirements shift and partial results must survive retries. The headline is still strong: better orchestration can beat simply buying more inference.
